GEO. V. IVOODS, OF BELOHERTOWN, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO AUSTINW'HITE, OF SAME PLACE.

IMPROVEMENT IN NECK-TIES, COLLARS, AND BOSOMS COMBINED.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 58,561, dated OctoberQ, 1866.

To all whom it may concer-n.'

Be it known that I, GEO. V. WOODS, of Belehertown, in the county ofHampshire and Commonwealth of Massachusetts,' have invented certain newand useful Improvements in. Combined Collars, Besoins, and Neck-Ties,and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the same, reference bein g had to the accompan yin gdrawings, forming a part of this specification, in which-- Figure lrepresents a perspective view of a collar, bosom, and neck-tie madeaccording to my invention as it appears when bent into the form which itis made to assume when applied to the neck of a person, and Fig. 2represents the parts shown in Fig. l spread out to illustrate myinvention more fully.

To enable those skilled in the art to whic my invention belongs to makeand use the same, I will proceed-to describe it.

In the drawings, A represents the bosom, which may be of any desiredform, and may be made plain, with plaits, or in any other desiredmanner. B represents the collar part, and O the neck-tie part.

The three parts named are made from a single piece of paper, or othersuitable material, and are to be cut or stampedout with any suitablemachinery.

The neck-tie part is setout or embossed, so as to have the appearance ofa separate attachment, and may be colored or made to imitate any figureof cloth or other material. An illustration is shown in the drawings, inwhich the neck-tie part is made to represent striped material.

' In stamping or forming the neck-tie' the ends e are cut or severedfrom the other parts of the material. In this instance they are cut orsevered from a to b on each side, the line of separation being shown inred lines. One object of separating the end c is to enable the ends ofthe collar to be folded down under the ends c, as shown in Fig. l.

The piece D is so cut that it answers as a means of attachment to theshirt-button. It is turned back over when applied to the shirt, so thatit is not exposed to view. (See Fig. l.) The button of the shirt towhich it is attached isjust back of the neck-tie when in proper positionon the neck of the wearer.

d l are button-holes, by which the ends of the collar are fastened.

The neck-tie C and bosom A may be made in one piece, or the collar andneck-tie may be made in one piece-that is, the parts A and O may be madetogether without the part B, and the parts O and B may be made togetherwithout the part A. The form and ligure of the parts may be made to suitthe tastes of the manufacturer.

Having described my improvements in combined collars, bosoms, andneck-ties, what I claim as new and of my invention, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is

l. Making or forming a collar, bosom, and neck-tie from a single pieceof paper, cloth, or other suitable material, substantially as set forth.

2. Making the part or neck-tie C, substantially as set forth.

3. Making the part or bosom A, and part or neck-tie O together, or froma single piece of material, substantially as set forth.

4. Making the collar or part B and neck-tie O together, or from a singlepiece of material, substantially as set forth.

5. The combination, with the ends O, of the collar B, substantially asshown in the drawings.

G. The piece D, in combination with the bosom and collar, or either, forthe purposes set forth.
